Tyrod Taylor injury update: Jets QB out for rest of preseason after knee procedure
Tyrod Taylor underwent arthroscopic knee surgery and will continue to remain out through the rest of the exhibition slate, Jets coach Aaron Glenn said in a news conference Tuesday.
"He's still going through his protocols as far as his rehab, so we'll see exactly where he is in the next couple weeks," Glenn said.
Taylor, 36, is expected to provide a veteran presence behind Justin Fields, whom the team signed to a two-year, $40 million contract in March.
As Aaron Rodgers' backup in 2024, the 14-year veteran appeared in two games and completed 17 of 22 passing attempts for 119 yards and three touchdowns.
Fields, who completed three of four passes for 34 yards and ran for a touchdown in last week's preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers, said earlier in the month he hoped he would play alongside the first-string offense in each preseason contest.
The Jets open the season on Sept. 7 against Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jets QB depth chart
With Taylor out, undrafted rookie Brady Cook and 2024 United Football League MVP Adrian Martinez could be in line for extensive work in the remaining two preseason games, with the next tilt coming Saturday against the New York Giants.

Will McDonald tackled Tyrone Tracy Jr. to the ground, which did not sit well with the Giants offensive line. Greg Van Roten and McDonald got tangled up and went to the ground with Van Roten, a former Jet, on top. Rookie Marcus Mbow — filling in as the starting right tackle — jumped in. Advertisement The Giants duo got a couple shots in on McDonald. At the same time, Jon Runyan Jr. and Qwan'tez Stigglers looked ready to brawl. Stiggers ripped off Runyan's helmet and squared up to the much bigger Runyan. Advertisement Aaron Stinnie and Russell Wilson stepped in as cooler heads.

Manchester United make big Chido Obi transfer decision
Manchester United have made a significant decision on the future of Chido Obi amidst suggestions he could be headed out on loan. Obi's breakthrough at United Obi has enjoyed a stunning rise at senior level since ditching Arsenal for United last summer. He was initially made to play for the youth teams but he didn't have to wait long to make his first-team debut for United. The striker made his senior bow in February as he come on as a late substitute during a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. Obi didn't score for United in 2024/25, although he netted twice in a post-friendly victory over Hong Kong. He travelled with the first team to the US for their pre-season tour and he is expected to have a role in Ruben Amorim's plans for the upcoming campaign. However, a recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Obi is attracting loan interest from INEOS-owned OGC Nice. It was stated that the French outfit want him for an entire campaign. Now, United's stance on the situation has come to light. United make Obi transfer decision According to the Daily Mail's Nathan Salt, United currently have no plans to sanction a loan exit for Obi before the close of the summer transfer window. Salt reveals, 'Question marks have been swirling in academy circles as to whether the £73.7m arrival of Benjamin Sesko extinguishes all hope of Chido Obi seeing game time this season.' 'But with Rasmus Hojlund's exit being accelerated, club insiders have told Daily Mail Sport that there are currently no plans to push Obi out on loan.' 'Limited minutes mean the door isn't totally closed if a compelling opportunity arises late in the window but the expectation as of today is that Obi remains with the first team group to continue developing in house.' United are back in action on Sunday when they take on Arsenal in their Premier League opener. Featured image Richard Heathcote via Getty Images online polls Follow us on Bluesky: @

Wednesday Cheese Curds: Banged-up Packers soldier on in training camp
Injuries are a part of the game, but right now they seem to be the whole game in Green Bay. Most of the offense seems to be injured right now, putting a damper on the Packers' plans to get tuned up before the start of the regular season, a bit of a problem considering they're starting the year with a divisional game against the Lions. Every team starts the year as a bit of an unknown, but given how hurt the Packers have been to this point in training camp, it feels like this year's team is going to go into the season as even more of an unknown than usual. That's fine from a fan's perspective; it's fun to go in a little bit blind. But it has to be exasperating for head coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst. How can you know what you've got on your team if your team is so injured it can't figure itself out? It's hard to believe the Packers are getting a ton of decent evaluation reps from their passing game right now with Jordan Love and most of the receivers hurt.
